When I've applied to bid with AHs, they've asked for references from other AHs. I assume they followed up. Since I could easily and painlessly supply a long list of well-known AHs I've bid with (and paid when I've won,) that was always enough.
I think having a history of paying for items won is a better reference than simply having dough in the bank. Not to mention, an image of a bank statement can easily be altered.
